In order for temporary file to be removed automatically on `IStorage::Release()`, `StgCreateDocfile` API requires passing STGM_DELETEONRELEASE flag - otherwise the file will be left behind when IStorage is released. Contents of temporary file are immediately copied to a JNI Byte Array after acquiring them from clibpoard, so it is safe to provide this flag and remove the file after `PopImage()` is done.

On the other hand, just scouting the temp directory for any leftover .TMP files might prove false results, as other apps or even JFX itself might use IStorage temporary files for some other purposes than managing clipboard images. As such, because this is a simple API change, I did not make a test for this.

The fix is fine.

I think that a test can be developed.
The total number of files in "java.io.tmpdir" directory should match before and after calling "Clipboard.getSystemClipboard().getImage()". That way we do not need the exact name of the temporary file.

Something like-
`File path = new File(System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"));`
`File[] files = path.listFiles();`

Size of `files` - should be same before and after "Clipboard.getSystemClipboard().getImage()"

Do you think this is doable?
